I hav an 06 F350 cclb. I hav been hav been having steering problems lately.it doesn't do it all the time but when I go around a turn and turn back straight it gets a something almost like a death wobble. like the wheels do wanna stay center.It never happens when driving straight or when I am driving down a highway. It does it at random when I take turns sometimes. Anyone got any idea wha it could be?

I know this may sound weird but...Bikes have that happen at high speed a lot...Bikers call it a tank slapper cause both handlebars slap the tank thus the bike's outta control and...well we all know what comes next huh. Point is, it can be caused by something as simple as wheels being out of balance. It could also be your caster on your front wheels being wonkey. The other thing is, if it's a high miler truck, how are your stabalizer bushings? If they're not greased regularily and wore out, you have nothing dampening the vibrations in turns and could result in nasty vibrations & wobbles.
I'm certainly no expert, not on trucks anyway, but those are some of the things I would look at...just saying. Hope I gave y'all some help here...good luck!!!

Another problem area is the spring bushings and frame side shackle pivot bushings. These get worn out and make front end sloppy
